We are glad to declare Dr Pramod Kumar Rajput as Positive Thoughts Achiever of the Week who shared his words to narrate the success story “From Nowhere to Now Here”. Dr. Pramod Kumar Rajput is an "Advisory Board Member of Positive Thoughts" Born on the 9th day of April in the year 1964 in a small city of Uttar Pradesh, Gorakhpur, I had no idea that one day I would end up being the senior-most official in an Indian multinational pharma company who would travel and lead people around the globe. I was blessed with very hardworking and loving parents who instilled the values of discipline. Time management and hard work into me. My maternal grandfather had also a very huge impact on me. With his care, folklores and religious stories, he added the values like determination, dedication and truthfulness to my young mind. My childhood was marked by the lovely memories of the wonderful days I spent at the school which happened to be North Eastern Railway Senior Secondary School. I still remember the classrooms and huge ground it had. My school was one of the best schools in Gorakhpur and the bonds which I created, the friends which I got during my school time are still very near and precious to me and I still keep cherishing them as Still our group meet once a year at different destinations. I started playing different games in my school time which helped me gain physical as well as mental strength. I have been College champion in the games like Kho-Kho, Chess and Badminton. Life during my childhood was simple. We were allotted Railway Quarters and we lived in Railway medical colony where I spent the majority of my childhood till I entered into professional life. Everyone in our colony lived peacefully and with the emotions of togetherness. I don’t remember my parents closing the doors of our house ever during the daytime. The most memorable time here was the festivities. Be it any festival of any religion -We all used to celebrate it together with a lot of participation and enthusiasm. This helped me become a global citizen and we all respected the virtues of all the religions and ethnicity and a very important virtue which is - “Vasudhaiv Kutumbakam” was realised in the true sense. Talking about festivities - I still remember during the times of Diwali, it was my job to distribute sweets to the entire neighbourhood which were prepared by my mother. I realised the value of money, negotiation and bargaining skills by a very practical the lesson was given to me by my parents. It was my duty to buy vegetables and fruits for the family on a given budget. I have always taken any responsibility given to me with full serious intent and every time I used to walk miles to get the best vegetables for my family at lowest price possible. This is how I learned a very important lesson - “ You should not trade comfort with money.” I wanted to change this and there I made up my mind that one day, I will make sure that my family would never have to give up comfort for the money. The roots of hard work and struggles to grow and do something better in my life started from here. It is not life - if it doesn’t feel like a roller coaster ride. And sticking true to the saying, my life had many turns and around. One of which was my decision to drop out of engineering college. Yes, My parents wanted me to become an engineer and as a dutiful son, I started working hard for the entrance and got into one of the best engineering colleges but my inner calling was to do something good for mankind. I never questioned the decision of my parents but the inner me was not allowing me to deviate from the path which I thought true for me and to the shock of everyone, 45 days after joining the engineering college, I left the course. It simply did not match the inner true calling of doing something good, something better and different than the set routine. This was the first independent decision that I had taken and As you can see now, I have done pretty well with myself for that decision. The path to self-realization is always hard and filled with struggle, I remember that my parents stopped talking to me for 2-3 days for this decision of mine but I believed in my self and I convinced them also to believe in myself and the rest is the history because the fact that this is my own decision - gives me more power to honour it and bring it to a successful reality. So, what did I do after leaving engineering? I found something very interesting and something which was doing directly good to the people of society - The profession of Medicine. The profession of explaining the science of medicine to the doctors and the patients and bringing the latest advances of science which will save lives of billions to the market. Yes, the job of Medical Representative. One day, during my visit to the doctor, I saw a doctor thanking a medical representative about how their medicine helped him save the ife of a really close patient of that doctor. I realised at that moment that the doctor diagnoses the condition but the depiction of medicine can be given by a medical representative. I was so fascinated by the science of the body and medicine that I decided to become a representative. It was one of the best jobs where we get the satisfaction of saving lives and we also get the satisfaction of learning new things every day about medicines and the human body. I joined Cadila Laboratories as a medical representative and who better can teach you about biology than doctors? I decided to meet them, develop relationships with them and learn from them. Trust me, if you have an honest desire of learning - you will never be denied the knowledge. Doctors were my customers but still, they never said no to teaching me. Another important thing I learnt was the fact that communication is the key to success. As a person, I communicated very well and I talked with everyone. I tried to learn from everyone and that is how, I could gain the trust of everyone. I used to retrospect a lot about what I could have done better and how can I learn from my failure as well, how I can make sure that I would never repeat the same mistake again. Instead of making this job a tool for earning, I made it a tool for learning. I learned a lot, I observed a lot. 70% of my learning came from observation. During my calls to doctor, I used to keenly observe what were the requirements of my clients. I always maintained eye contact and I maintained perfect body language as it is also a key element in approaching customers. I worked hard and smart with 100% dedication and that attitude of mine bore fruit as I started gaining good results for my company. I always approached consequences with humbleness and never let arrogance take the hold of my mind. Amalgamation of all these good attributes created a the flower of success and my hard work and sweat started giving sweet smell - I started to be recognised as winner in all the competition of my organization and they called me - “ The Rajput of Cadila.” The journey had just yet started and it was not going to be an easy bed of roses. But, the God has decided to double my strength and in the mid way of my life - I met the strength of my life - My wife, Ritu. Ritu is the rightly entitled queen of the palace of my heart. I was lucky enough to meet her at one of my cousin’s wedding and it was love at first sight for me. She was and will always remain the queen of my heart and I will always love her until the last moment of my life. As a person, she brought a fresh air in my life. The speeding prince of roads who was always chasing targets, got a new direction and vision in my life. My wife brought out the best in me. We always help each other but she has helped me more than I can ever imagine. I will always be in-debt to her because she is the one who took care of every aspect of my family life and in turn helped me to give my 24X7 to my profession. As I took on the duty of earning money, she took on even more important responsibility - Raising 2 beautiful children to be good and successful humans. We moved from Gorakhpur to Agra then to Lucknow as I started gaining ranks in same organisation Cadila. From Lucknow, I was transferred to Bangalore as I had been given responsibility to handle the entire South, I was then again promoted to Mumbai and then from Mumbai, seeing my contribution to build business and team , I was chosen to handle big responsibilities - From Ahmedabad Head office itself. In my organisation launched many brands, Multiple Divisions & converted them as block buster brands & arrow head divisions from acute to chronic therapy. I was felicitated with many awards during my tenure of work at Cadila Pharma. Believe me, If my wife would not have followed and supported me happily everywhere, if she would not have made every house home for me, I don’t think this journey would have been possible. I was busy satisfying my hunger of success, fulfilling the given responsibilities at various desired levels, through learning and achieving, but my wife, A real Annapoorna, was always there waiting for, sitting on the dining table, not eating anything until I come home and have food whenever I was in my HQ. The most important factor started from the time I got married which was - Work life Balance. I can’t let my wife handle everything while I carelessly work late. I feel the most important thing in a person’s life is happiness. Happiness brings peace and peace brings gratitude, which helps a person to progress in life. I always tried the journey of my life happy for my wife, my children and for my parents. My parents were my role model and I always wanted to be the same for my children. My wife has given her everything into raising them both to be the most compassionate and kind children I have ever seen. I have seen them behaving mature at the age when they should be behaving like a child and along with their IQ, we both as parents, have contributed into their EQ also. Today, proudly I can say that we both are blessed parents of successful and kind children. There are some important learning from my life which I would like you all to think on are For Professional Growth -  The Attitude of the person should be positive  The person should be ready to learn and should be a dedicated and determined person  One should be accountable with good collaborative approach  One should be an effective communicator and one should work towards customer delight both within the organization as well as beyond the organization  There should be no procrastination and if the change is required, the same should be implemented immediately.  Build Leaders to March Ahead  Keep updating as Knowledge is an Asset While keeping the instinct of Learning, I completed my MBA, Marketing & Executive Leadership Development Program from IIM, Ahmedabad. Also did 24 certification courses from all leading International Universities across the world like Leeds University, London, University of Michigan, (University of Queen's land, Deakin University, CK University) Australia, College of Law, Samsung & Accenture on the various subject including Massachusetts Medical Society & Harvard Medical School USA. Completed “Train the Trainer –Level 3 & Advance Level 3” from Learning without walls apart from completing Diploma in NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) from American Board of NLP Also completed my Certification in School Management and Leadership (CSML) from Harvard Business School, Boston Completed Diploma in Project Management on Leadership & Team Development, Change Management & Risk Management from International Business Management Institute, Berlin, Germany This year I became the Member of Leaders Excellence at Harvard Square MLE℠ During the time of COVID, as the leader of my company and my team I ensured that every team member understands their responsibility towards customers, Organisation as well towards their families. The medicines are vital for mankind’s survival and thus, we have to be on the front line and here, I saw my dream - my dream of helping people calling me again in a literal sense. We never wasted a moment, we started physical, worked side by side with doctors and healthcare workers. We made sure that even darkest corner of the country should be equipped with the life saving drugs of our company. We educated the employees and their families about Covid-19 and the steps to be taken to prevent it. With God’s grace, most of our employees were safe while working. While this invisible threat was there, I took the opportunity to learn new things and contribute more to society. I delivered many lectures and many talks virtually to many students in many universities apart from multiple forums at various levels from Professionals to Home makers to Educators across the Globe. I was honoured with 3 honorary doctorates for my services to the business and literature. I have become a board member of various institutes and chairperson of various universities. I have been made secretary and member of various international institutions and multinational firms. I have become an ambassador of various global initiatives. The journey of my life is filled with learning and turning challenges into opportunities continues and looking back at the journey, I feel that it is just has started. Life goes on and on and the journey of learning and the journey of contributing to others life continues with Humility, Humanity filled with Compassion that too without compromising the prime responsibility of my organisation Cadila. if you want to interact with me on LinkedIn, here's the link https://www.linkedin.com/in/pkrajput99

LinkedIn for me has been a really interesting development in my career. It gives me the ability to talk to so many people. I got LinkedIn during my law school but I treated it more like an online resume. I have recently started blogging about my personal stories and slowly I have started building an audience. Now, what I realised is that in the world of the internet which is overloaded with varying opinions and spin, it becomes harder to distinguish between what's authentic and what's not. It's the science of psychology and you may ask why authenticity matters? Now being real is important for building relationships, creating meaningful conversation and innovation. It's about being your best self. It's about constantly evolving. The underlying reality is that the drive of being authentic and being the best version of ourselves is also dependent on the work environment. Those innate positive vibes at your workplace will also help you grow. We need to adapt and while we all have unique ways of armouring ourselves, you need to find out what makes you happy? What matters to you? What's your moment of authenticity? Those moments are inextricably laid to the practice of authenticity and that's why authenticity is important. There are two key aspects of being authentic - 1) what matters? 2) we must summon our courage when it matters. Those are our defining moments of an authentic life. As a lawyer, I try to stay relevant and I do that by talking about topics that interest people. I don't want to restrict myself as an industry sales rep. I believe in being a human being. I have always emphasized that when you be a human while interacting on social media, even though your potential clientele might not need you right now but your name, for sure, would come to their mind when they are looking for someone to resolve their problems. Don't fall for wanting of mimics or trying to replicate someone else's life. You got to figure out what makes your story unique because people are attracted to other people's stories, not corporate stories, but human stories. Remember - "People do business with people they know, like & trust". I have also noticed that we do not realize the scale when we post something online. The scale is tremendous. Traditionally, we lawyers have a narrow view when it comes to marketing. Outside the box, marketing is something that is effective and helps you develop the business and relationships. There's no fixed formula for success, it's all about being passionate about something that's in line with your personality, something that you enjoy. It's all connected.

Branding = Reputation. First and foremost in-house counsels' role is very similar to lawyers who are into private practice. In my experience, in-house lawyers wrap themselves so much with their employer's identity that they get lost. That's a major mistake. It's important to establish your identity. Your clients must trust you before you address the matters proactively. My analysis of myself has helped me to develop pillars for thought leadership that I want to do in my career. I am somebody who believes that collaboration is imperative if you want to grow in your career. I firmly believe that technology innovation is important. That's the kind of business approach that I take and I feel that it helps me set the tone with my Clients about what to expect from me. You need to find what's sustainable for you, for example when I handle any matter, I try to understand what's my clients' broader needs. A part of my practice is to establish the expectation amongst my Clients and be able to understand what success means to my Client. Sometimes, it may mean not taking the matter to trial & sometimes there are other things at play. That's my brand. The inter-connectedness of business relationships is something that should not be ignored. You want your Client to believe your services and that you're a good fit for their needs. For a lawyer who is also a good salesman, I think its' a rare match. Recently, my usage of LinkedIn has become more personal than business. As a lawyer, I think it's quite common to tend to believe that social media is not a good thing and that somehow lawyers are supposed to have a different persona, something that should not be personal. However, in my experience, the use of social media helps to build relationships, also, because people do business with people whose values are aligned with theirs'. Social media gives you the ability to build strong business relationships and start networking. Now in the last few weeks, I have come across many people on LinkedIn ranging from people who have lost jobs, people who are building businesses, people who had to lay off employees, and the experience is so varied that it has helped me to get access to the genuine opinion of other people and that's invaluable for me. One of the problems that we have with the legal profession is the assumption of putting on strong armour to appear reliable. Now that's not something that, is not true. As lawyers, we can have good days and we can also have bad days, but that doesn't mean that you're any less of a professional. You can be authentic. Sometimes it's difficult to reveal yourself (maybe not for everybody) but your vulnerability can help someone else overcome their weakness.

Bengal celebrates the festival of light worshipping Goddess Kaali, back in the 16th century noted Tantric scholar, Krishnananda Agamavagisha had once dreamt of Goddess Kali. The Goddess, who was until then largely been associated with death and darkness, is believed to have instructed Agamavagisha to worship her in a form that incorporated in her forms of feminine domesticity. The influential elites of later centuries took forward the tradition and turned them into ostentatious projects to showcase wealth and power. Till date, when India celebrates Diwali, it is Kali puja that is observed in Bengal and some parts of Orissa as well. Other than the religious side Goddess Kaali has got a special place in the field of Art. The divergences in the form and depictions that Kali denotes across different parts of the subcontinent is largely reflexive of the way in which her character developed and blended with local traditions and Hindu symbolism. Anything associated with Mythological or Religious take that exhibits multifarious shades definitely wins a special place in any Artist's heart. Singing Diva Soumita Saha who recently launched her own record label 'Melo Tunes' comes up with her Virtual Solo Exhibition "Shyama" on the auspicious occasion of Diwali. "Shyama" is another name for Goddess Kaali. Soumita's Artwork is widely appreciated amongst art lovers and curators across the nation. One of her artwork was exhibited at Portland's ArtReach Art Gallery. Soumita's series Art Work this time is thematic that features different forms of Goddess kaali. About the exhibition, the artist also adds " Kaali is one of my favourite subjects when it comes to art. There are many shades you can freely depict. Kaali is powerful and very expressive. I have also focused on the controversial part of 'Kaali' . We worship the deity and end up suggesting Fairness cream to our brown beauties also exists in the theme." Soumita Saha started her journey with Edm music the success of her debut album game her immense fame. Her experiments bridged the gap between traditional and modern arrangements used in Tagore Music her contribution to the field of Tagore Music is praised worthy. The young Singing diva added a gem more to the crown of her accomplishments having launched her record label 'Melo Tunes'. The theme Music for Her Solo Exhibition " Shyama " has been composed by the singing Diva herself.

Satya PrasadBalki, M.S  F.C.A.S (AEH), Consultant ophthalmologist at MaxiVision eye hospitals   With our country achieving the fabulous milestone of a billion Covid shots administered, waning Covid case numbers, a bull run in the stock markets, tourism picking up again, a general sense of euphoria and relief, one can only say that the festive season is truly upon us,and we can expect it to be a -‘Dhamaka’ Diwali!  Diwali is probably the biggest festival in our country and with the stress and toll that Covid put us through last year, I am sure people want to spare no excuse in indulgence this time around. Diwali is one of the busiest and stressful times for an eye doctor and for good reason, a kitchen running overtime,lamps, lighting's, and fireworks-well there’s a recipe for disaster if there ever was! While I am all in for the celebrations, I also would like my readers to exercise caution. Hazardous injuries to any part of our body are quite common and can range from mild to severe burns, as an eye doctor I would like to draw your attention to the eye injuries that can occur and safety precautions to be followed.  Our body has an instinctive mechanism to close the eyes shut when it expects an injury but sometimes it's not adequate. If we look at the structure of the eye, the outer most part Called the cornea is transparent and allows light to enter the eye and give vision, it is similar to watch glass and any kind o trauma to it usually leaves a permanent scar which results in diminished vision. The eye is a round structure with an inherent pressure within it which keeps it in this shape, any penetrating trauma seen in callous and close proximity to fireworks causes rupture of these tissues and is often difficult to treat.   Hot oil from the lamps or while cooking can fall in the eyes and cause scalding of the superficial layers of the eye, electrical burn injuries from faulty wiring and lights can cause thermal burn injuries. Of all fireworks cancause the most damage, as they are akin to the effects of a blast injury albeit on a smaller scale, Injuries to the eye vary from small foreign body to severe penetrating injury requiring immediate surgical intervention. Here’s the first aid guide you can follow- In mild cases as in hot oil or foreign body, Wash the eye thoroughly by splashing copious amounts of clean drinking water, alternately you can use a shallow cup of water close to the eye and blink repeatedly. Consult your eye doctor to remove the foreign body and prescribe appropriate medications. In severe bleeding cases with direct impact to eyes with fireworks, wash eye with clean water, cover the eye with a clean cotton pad or towel, do not apply any pressure, and consult an eye doctor immediately as it may require surgical intervention.  Precautions to be taken-·          Use protective eye wear, maintain a safe distance, and keep utensils above waist level while cooking.·         While lighting fireworks, maintain a safe distance after lighting, use a face shield, easily available nowadays thanks to Covid.·         DO NOT handle live fireworks or fling them in the air.·         Adult supervision is a must for Children around fireworks.·         Always keep a bucket of water close by.·         Motorists should be careful and wear a helmet as many people light fireworks on the road.·         Do not try to self-medicating and use readily available drops at home, give appropriate first aid and consult your eye doctor.  Conforming to the old adage ‘’prevention is better than cure’’ it is best to be cautious and avoid such scenarios altogether. Health, wealth, and happiness,wishing it all in abundance!!Wish you a safe and happy Diwali!

For Indians, cricket is not just a game, it's a feeling like none other. Result of which the ICC events are celebrated like festivals by a billion cricket crazy fans. The T20 world cup is not an exception to this. Every single person from the subcontinent was eager to see India taking the arch-rivals Pakistan, against whom they had a sublime record of 12-0 in world cups. It was a heartbreak for Indians when the Pakistan team broke India's winning streak. But it is not Pakistan that has troubled Men in Blue in ICC events, it is neither Australia. The team which India has had difficulty facing in the ICC events in New Zealand. Author:- Ashwin Jangam (Cricket Analyst, host, poet, entertainer) Insta I'd:- cricket_creativity The Blackcaps have always had an upper hand in their clash against India in ICC events. Their dominance can be seen in the fact that they never let India win an ICC event game after the 2003 world cup. The last time India beat New Zealand, none of the players of the current team was above 15 years of age. The Kiwi upper hand denied the table-toppers India a place in the 2019 world cup final. Their dominating performance made them lift the World Test Championship against India in a rain-affected match which hardly lasted was played for 3 days overall. The 2007 world cup champions India defeated all the teams in the tournament but lost to Kiwis by 10 runs. Time and again, New Zealand has proved to be better amongst the rivalry between Men in Blue and Black Caps. It is not their brutal bowling or their sensational batting which results in their victory. It is the discipline they follow which wins them matches consistently. Kiwis follow the basics of the game more than any cricket playing nation, making them one of the toughest opponents. You'll hardly see any Kiwi bowler bowl targetting line other than the 4th stump. Also, as a batting unit, Kiwis have improved tremendously under the leadership of Kane Williamson. The Men in Black were never short of power hitters, but the new era under Kane has increased their batters playing by the book. This is why, it will be exciting to see the encounter between Men in Blue led by the aggressive captain Virat Kohli, and Men in black led by the calm Kane Williamson yet again. The game will be almost like a knockout for both teams. Both the teams that have lost their first match to Pakistan are in a position where they cannot afford to lose another match. The rise of Afghanistan is also a concern for both the teams who will put all their energy into the match happening today evening. courtesy : Times of India Although the statistics are in favour of New Zealand, Kohli and his men are raring to go and step up to the expectations of a billion people. Just like Pakistan breaking India's winning streak against them, Men in Blue would love to break New Zealand's winning streak and would like to avenge the 2019 semifinal and WTC final. With Trent Boult leading the attack for Black Caps, India can expect a fiery spell from him like Shaheen Afridi but would expect the top order to fire unlike Pakistan encounter and the 2019 world cup semifinal. The likes of Lockie Ferguson would try to make the life of Indian batters difficult. Furthermore, Mitchell santner will surely make use of Spin friendly pitches. It would be exciting to see the approach of India. And in almost a do or die encounter for both the world-class teams, it won't be a surprise to see the match going till the last overs. Also, toss would play a very important role in the result of the match. If India bats first, things could get a little difficult for them. One would hope Virat to break his toss losing streak to ensure New Zealand is put to bat first. Whether India will create history to break New Zealand's winning streak, or the winning steak of Black Caps will continue, only time will tell. But one thing every cricket fan can be sure of is to see an amazing contest between the two world-class teams led by the two best batsmen in the world.

Advice for me means - putting the cart before the horse. I believe each person is different, hence their motivation is also different. Therefore, I don't advise on what one should opt for specifically as a career choice but yeah, if you're unhappy with what you're doing currently, then my advice to you will be that you need to choose between spending your time on things which makes you happy. Since, I am a lawyer and a blogger both, while law excites me, learning about people management skills is something that I like to focus more on. I don't like to dabble on everything, therefore I focus on project management specifically and that is something that has helped me on the work front. Also, shifting from a time model to a project model working style helps. You have to be flexible and understand why you're doing a particular project? Even if that means you have to spend those extra hours sometimes. That's my mantra for my work and that is what pushes me to do my work more effectively. Being a lawyer & a blogger both gives me more choice and the confidence to do what I do. While I continue my law practice, pitching to businesses (leaders; rather than going through gatekeepers) & still allows me the option to have control over my writing. I am willing to put in the time, energy and extra efforts which are required to build on the knowledge base. Writing is good but putting in the work is fulfilling. Sometimes, it also gets frustrating when you do all the right work but there seem to be limitations. I also like to help my friends with their projects and for free. Sometimes, I feel I learn more from working for free than when I charge a fee for my services. It's about being intuitive rather than following the traditional approach. You need to see and decide what works for you. Put in the hard work and determination. I have started with setting up quarterly goals and working upon those. So at the end of the quarter, I can sit and analyze my growth. You need to enjoy your work for sure but it has a greater spend been helpful in my case. There's a whole spectrum about experimenting with innovation, it's harder than what you think it would be, in some ways it might even be tedious but it has helped me to learn a lot of things. It's like a deposition preparation, you need to be articulate with your ideas. I wouldn't have anticipated many of the processes or skills in general which are related to my law practice but writing has helped me feel more confident in the legal arena. It's about your writing styles. I feel my style is more conversational but the more I write, I develop better communication skills. There's an implied fear that the whole idea might not work even after having greater spends but that's alright as long as you're comfortable with the process.
